Dylan O'Brien x Reader | How It Started

Chapter 4: Yes Maybe No?

I stand there in shock as I hear the words one by one fall out of his mouth. 'Will you go out with me' flies around my head crashing into my sense. I blankly state at him with my bottom jaw slightly dangling. He stands there fiddling with his thumbs looking down at me.

Not knowing what to really say I blurt out the words. "Yes...." But what's really going on in my head is 'Yes, Maybe, No.'

"Really?" His face lightens up with excitement.

I nod and smile at him. "Of course." Oh great... I did not just say that. Well, I mean yes I like him, but... Do I really do? What about Dylan. No no. Forget about him, he's with Bell. Focus on Thomas.

The next thing I know I'm embraced in Thomas's arms. "I wanted to tell you something... Honestly y/n I've liked you since we first met. Kindergarten."

I hug him back as he admits many things to me that I never even knew. His words become more and more warm and sweet the further he gets into his long paragraph he probably had planned in his head. Can you imagine how sad he must've gotten if I said no. I could've broken his heart even if we were just friends. "I never knew you felt this way..." I say looking up at him. "I've like you for a while now and I was always afraid to tell you my feelings. As almost everyone is scared of I'm scared of losing our friendship if it doesn't work out. And what about Kar-," he ends my sentence as if he knew what I was going to say and softly pulls away from the hug pressing his finger against my lips.

"Sh..." He smiles at me and leaves his finger on my lips. "I know about Karla, I'm going to be totally honest here, but I barely like like her. She's just a friend. I promise." He knows? Well now I wish that I never said yes. Me and Karla are amazing friends and if this relationship ruins it all I'm sorry but that's her fault. Why? Because she shouldn't be so jealous that she ruins everything before the relationship.

I'm not so sure if I should've said yes now. Who knows maybe Thomas can end up liking Karla and he'll just break my heart. If he did he would obviously choose her as his best friend over me. Then I remember Dylan again. Do I really like him more than Thomas? The questions go crazy in my mind and it's hard for me to focus on what's going on now. I snap out of my thoughts and look straight into Thomas's eyes. Hesitantly I nod at him.

He finally takes his finger off my lips which made the butterflies in my stomach calm down a little. I felt like I was going to vomit of nervousness. Luckily the bell that rings for class saves me. "Well... I h-have to go," I stutter.

He nods at me with a bright smile. "I'll see you later?"

"Yep."

He embraces me in a tight hug and then pulls away. "Bye y/n," he lets go and walks off facing my direction waving at me.

I wave back and walk off back to class, but Dylan appears in front of the door before I can enter the classroom. "Hey y/n. What did Thomas ask you earlier?"
